One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are lot of things, biggest gamble of my life, came to Dubai and started my tech company - greatest high of my life!!!! 😁

Would love to learn a new language, culture and anything that would add value to me as an individual and can help others!
Would love to share my World Movie Collection, Discuss Movies, Music, Technology, Travel and food Stories - I've got few good and interesting ones.

What I Can Share with Hosts

PLEASE READ THE COUCH DETAILS:
I live in Downtown Dubai (Business Bay) and get the Bruj Khalifa view from my apartment window :-). I live in a large 1BHK apartment. There is a very comfy couch, queen size air bed for the travelers & of course Netflix for them couch potatoes :-D - me included :-P. The apartment is centrally air conditioned hence no need to worry about the heat. Basic necessities will be provided. There is pool, gym, steam and sauna available for use, not exploitation ;-))! If you are adventurous then you can cook for self and if you are the generous kind share some with me - there is only 1 hot plate to cook - so be patient!!! UberEats & Zomato caters to some amazing restaurants around Dubai and I use UberEats & Zomato very generously. Business Bay now is the center of Dubai and happening! [I had to include this, for all them Marina, JLT,JBR lovers :-(]

I'm generally working from 10-5 (which is 7 min walk from my apartment) so in case of any emergencies or fire I can cross the road and come to your aid [not Clark Kent style more like Wade Wilson style;-)]. I have few Dinky Cars which i absolutely love and do not let people touch them.

There is a shuttle bus service to Dubai Mall station and Business Bay station near my apartment (5 min walk in fierce heat:-0) or if you prefer a more Chauffeur driven Lexus, Benz experience then Uber, Careem and RTA is available in a click. For bus service people use the method to not to get charged high:
Shuttle-Metro OR Shuttle-Metro-Shuttle to travel within 5-10DHS to your destination. Any lapse in the process might charge you more - So beware!

The Dubai Mall is about 10 min taxi ride, there are few Super Markets, Pharmacies, Laundry, restaurants within 5-10 min walking distance - even a hidden Starbucks!!! for those starstruck - starbucks coffee lovers. The fitness lovers can enjoy a run or a stroll around the dubai canal which is across the street (5 min walk) - BTW, i only get Canal view partially - I hope you'll not be here for the views from apartment ;-) !

If time permits I can show around the city and improve my knowledge as well.

Please ensure that you will not bring or deal in any kind of drugs while staying in my house, if you have friends please meet them outside of apartment complex or some place else. Keep me posted on your plans if you wish to stay out for the night, Keep your couch clean, behave like a responsible human being! :-D
